For the first time in history, the BMW M4 is available in an all-wheel-drive version and to show what the Munich brand's xDrive system can do, a race with two models that have long proven their “power” was called for. ” of all-wheel drive: Nissan GT-R and Audi RS 5.
And that was precisely the “recipe” for the latest drag race on the Throttle House YouTube channel, which put these three models side by side.
On paper, the Nissan GT-R is the clear favorite: it's the most powerful of the three, with 573 hp; the M4 Competition xDrive is at 510 hp and the Audi RS 5 at 450 hp.
And in the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h, the Japanese super sports car also has an advantage: 2.8s against the 3.5s of the BMW M4 Competition xDrive and the 3.9s of the Audi RS5.
But are these differences really that significant on the track? Or will the Nissan GT-R be surprised by this German weight duo?
